A monument to the “Spinnerin” stands as a remnant of local folklore. A local legend has it that a young woman named Apollonia Hufnagel, was walking to the village of Westheim to spin cloth and passed by the Wessachhof farm. She was warned by some travelers about the infamous Devil’s Ditch, which was along the way. The girl said she was not afraid of the devil, and to prove it she would go to the Devil’s Ditch at midnight and use her spinning wheel. She did as she had promised and was found the next day with her head spun around to the back of her neck. A monument was erected at the top of the Devil’s Ditch, “Teufelsgraben,” in her memory.
